As per Fiona feedback in another email, for PMD it does not matter what output
buffer length is set to. All matters if it should be allocated large enough as
per description in spec.
Given that, there is no need to mention specifically, that length should be set
to 0. App can leave it to anything as PMD don't care. It does not and should
not check for any valid params here.
Ditto is my feedback on cipher.length description below. There is no need to
mention, it should be set to 0 specifically
If we agree, this change can be taken as part of next patch set. Current one
can still go on.
Thanks
